Over 40% of charities pay chiefs more than €100,000

How come so many "charities" can afford paying their top guys so much while refusing to adopt total transparency in terms of financial reporting? Even the publicly traded commercial organisations are required to publish their top executives' remuneration, while these "noble" people choose to do otherwise.

What about other "charities" organisations that take money/donation regularly from the public for some usually "noble causes"?

It is wrong that charity chiefs are paid so much but in many cases these charities appear to have migrated from their presumably noble beginnings to becoming empire building businesses.

Why are there so many charities competing in the same area ostensibly trying to help the same people? Each of these needs a CEO, admin staff, budget for rent etc before they even think about getting cash to those who need it.

I hear the homeless charities on the radio this morning. Somebody should ask Simon how many CEO's they have and how much they are paid (Yes they have more than one, that is not a misprint). While they are at it they should ask them why themselves, Focus and Cope have been involved in tendering to run specific services. Charities competing against each other...who would have thought it.

I have no problem with NGO senior staff getting appropriatly paid. If they have an MBA, max 5yr contract, with performance & growth of revenue targets etc, then thats fair enough. However, if they want the big bucks, then they need to perform at the appropriatly high level.....

The Charity sector turns over more than 6 billion each year and employs more than 100,000 people. Many Charities are essentially covering the same ground with a great deal of duplication of administration.

Running a charity requires a huge amount of skill and experience, which is directly relates to what a specific charity raises in a given year.

The muppet chorus on this site seems to think that organising large body of people to undertaken a specific task is something that any Joe Public plucked off the street would be willing and capable to do for €30k.
